To want to marry the tangle teezer man?

We lost ours Shock I have been Tangle Teezerless for over a week. My life has been hell.

I replaced it finally, yesterday. It's first morning since we lost the last one that has been tear free. No fighting, no crying, no chasing knotted children around and pinning them to the ground in order to unknot them.

Bliss.

If I marry him I will never be tangle teezerless again.

I think this every morning too!

I had to brush DD's hair at my sister's house last week and it was a complete nightmare with much screaming.

I recommend them to everyone I know Smile

YADNBU. My DD has two so she is never without...just like we used to do with bed toys.

I can't believe my DD lived 9,5 long years without one. I got it from the hairdresser and she doesn't mind brushing her hair. At last.

I have fine curly hair which knots easily and it is great.

DooinMeCleanin · 05/11/2010 10:12

Branchingout dd2 has very fine, curly hair too. Dd1's hair is poker straight, but also very fine and very long. I was about this close from hacking it all off with the kitchen scissors yesterday. I told her if she dared take her bobble out at school and get tangled again it would be straight to the hairdresser this morning.

She is allowed to keep her long hair again now we have a new tangle teezer.

I really should try one for DD.

KatyMac · 05/11/2010 10:17

I bought one but I haven't tried it yet

DD is mixed race with very curly hair

DooinMeCleanin · 05/11/2010 10:18

Yes you should. Imo £10 is expensive for a hairbrush, but not for this one. dd1 calls it the magic brush.

I'd never heard of them before this week, then for the first time ever I actually bought something from one of the demonstrators at Hamleys after she tried one out on DD's hair (long, curly, nightmare in the mornings...).

I think I paid £2 over the odds (after checking on Amazon), but it has been worth it so far - the day when DD might be able to sort her own hair out may now be in sight!

Think I might have to get a spare one from Amazon now just in case...

Corvidae · 05/11/2010 10:22

They really are brilliant, I think it's one of the best gizmos I have bought.

I love my Tangle Teezer. I saw it on dragon's den, and although the dragons didn't invest in it, I was very impressed and went straight to his website to invest in one myself Grin
I hate to brush my hair with anything else now. How did I live without it for so many years?

FindingGuysMojo · 05/11/2010 10:26

I'm buying one today for DD's birthday ;)

kreecherlivesupstairs · 05/11/2010 10:35

I didn't realise it had been on DD. It is deceptively simple, DH looked at it and dismisively said 'you paid 19 euros for that' and walked away. He is now a convert, DD doesn't moan and scream and looks less like a scarecrow.

TattyDevine · 05/11/2010 10:41

I use one on the Persian Cat too now. Our hair is not too unruly (we have sleek well behaved hair, luckily though its flat I'm afraid and DH has very little left at all so you can't have it both ways!) but the cat used to have to get shaved each January no matter how hard we tried (though usually after a stint in the cattery over Xmas where they couldn't do her because she's feral highly strung).

Last year was the first time we didn't have to get her shaved, which is great because they have to give her a fair bit of sedation to get the clippers near her.

Viva la Teaser!

Corvidae · 05/11/2010 10:48

Does it really work that well Tatty?

I have been tempted to buy one for the dog (shih tzu) but wasn't sure if it would work.

I don't want to try ours on her!

PaisleyLeaf · 05/11/2010 11:00

It should work okay for the dog Corvidae - Deborah Meaden said they're the same as her horse's brush.

Corvidae · 05/11/2010 14:51

Hmmm, may convince DH we need another one then.

KatyMac · 06/11/2010 14:57

Brushed DD's hair with it this am, I liked it - she is ambivalent
